broccoli-funnel

What is broccoli-funnel?

broccoli-funnel is a Broccoli plugin that allows you to filter and move files around within a Broccoli build pipeline. It is commonly used to include or exclude specific files or directories, rename files, and restructure the output directory tree.

What are broccoli-funnel's main functionalities?

Filtering Files

This feature allows you to filter files based on a pattern. In this example, only JavaScript files from the 'src' directory are included in the output.

const Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');
const filteredTree = new Funnel('src', {
  include: ['**/*.js']
});

Excluding Files

This feature allows you to exclude files based on a pattern. In this example, all test JavaScript files are excluded from the 'src' directory.

const Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');
const filteredTree = new Funnel('src', {
  exclude: ['**/*.test.js']
});

Renaming Files

This feature allows you to rename files during the build process. In this example, 'index.html' is renamed to 'main.html'.

const Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');
const renamedTree = new Funnel('src', {
  getDestinationPath: function(relativePath) {
    if (relativePath === 'index.html') {
      return 'main.html';
    }
    return relativePath;
  }
});

Moving Files

This feature allows you to move files to a different directory. In this example, all files from the 'src' directory are moved to the 'output' directory.

const Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');
const movedTree = new Funnel('src', {
  destDir: 'output'
});

broccoli-merge-trees

broccoli-merge-trees is a Broccoli plugin that allows you to merge multiple trees into a single tree. It is useful for combining the output of different Broccoli plugins. Unlike broccoli-funnel, which focuses on filtering and moving files, broccoli-merge-trees is used for combining multiple sets of files.

broccoli-stew

broccoli-stew is a collection of Broccoli plugins that provide various utilities for working with Broccoli trees. It includes functionality for debugging, filtering, and transforming files. While broccoli-funnel focuses on filtering and moving files, broccoli-stew offers a broader range of utilities.

broccoli-concat

broccoli-concat is a Broccoli plugin that concatenates multiple files into a single file. It is useful for bundling JavaScript or CSS files. Unlike broccoli-funnel, which is used for filtering and moving files, broccoli-concat is specifically designed for concatenation.

README

Broccoli Funnel

Given an input node, the Broccoli Funnel plugin returns a new node with only a subset of the files from the input node. The files can be moved to different paths. You can use regular expressions to select which files to include or exclude.

Documentation

new Funnel(inputNode, options)

inputNode {Single node}

A Broccoli node (formerly: "tree"). A node in Broccoli can be either a string that references a directory in your project or a node object returned from running another Broccoli plugin.

If your project has the following file structure:

.
├── Brocfile.js
└── src/
    ├── css/
    │   ├── reset.css
    │   └── todos.css
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── check-mark.png
    │   └── logo.jpg
    └── javascript/
        ├── app.js
        └── todo.js

You can select a subsection of the tree via Funnel:

var Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');
var cssFiles = new Funnel('src/css');

/*
  cssFiles contains the following files:

  ├── reset.css
  └── todos.css
*/

// export the node for Broccoli to begin processing
module.exports = cssFiles;

Options

srcDir {String}

A string representing the portion of the input node to start the funneling from. This will be the base path for any include/exclude regexps.

Default: '.', the root path of the input node.

If your project has the following file structure:

.
├── Brocfile.js
└── src/
    ├── css/
    │   ├── reset.css
    │   └── todos.css
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── check-mark.png
    │   └── logo.jpg
    └── javascript/
        ├── app.js
        └── todo.js

You can select a subsection of the node via Funnel:

var Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');
var MergeTrees = require('broccoli-merge-trees');

// root of our source files
var projectFiles = 'src';

/* get a new node of only files in the 'src/css' directory
  cssFiles contains the following files:

  ├── reset.css
  └── todos.css
*/
var cssFiles = new Funnel(projectFiles, {
  srcDir: 'css'
});

/* get a new node of only files in the 'src/icons' directory
  imageFiles contains the following files:

  ├── check-mark.png
  └── logo.jpg
*/
var imageFiles = new Funnel(projectFiles, {
  srcDir: 'icons'
});


module.exports = new MergeTrees([cssFiles, imageFiles]);

---

destDir {String}

A string representing the destination path that filtered files will be copied to.

Default: '.', the root path of input node.

If your project has the following file structure:

.
├── Brocfile.js
└── src/
    ├── css/
    │   ├── reset.css
    │   └── todos.css
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── check-mark.png
    │   └── logo.jpg
    └── javascript/
        ├── app.js
        └── todo.js

You can select a subsection of the directory structure via Funnel and copy it to a new location:

var Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');

var cssFiles = new Funnel('src/css', {
  destDir: 'build'
});

/*
  cssFiles contains the following files:

  build/
  ├── reset.css
  └── todos.css
*/

module.exports = cssFiles;

---

allowEmpty {Boolean}

When using srcDir/destDir options only (aka no filtering via include/exclude options), if the srcDir were missing an error would be thrown. Setting allowEmpty to true, will prevent that error by creating an empty directory at the destination path.

---

include {Array of GlobStrings|RegExps|Functions}

One or more matcher expression (regular expression, glob string, or function). Files within the node whose names match this expression will be copied (with the location inside their parent directories preserved) to the destDir.

Default: [].

If your project has the following file structure

.
├── Brocfile.js
└── src/
    ├── css/
    │   ├── reset.css
    │   └── todos.css
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── check-mark.png
    │   └── logo.jpg
    └── javascript/
        ├── app.js
        └── todo.js

You can select files that match a glob expression and copy those subdirectories to a new location, preserving their location within parent directories:

var Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');

// finds all files that match /todo/ and moves them
// the destDir
var todoRelatedFiles = new Funnel('src', {
  include: ['todo/**/*']
});

/*
  todoRelatedFiles contains the following files:
  .
  ├── css
  │   └── todos.css
  └── javascript
      └── todo.js
*/

module.exports = todoRelatedFiles;

---

exclude {Array of Glob Strings|Glob String|Function}

One or more matcher expression (regular expression, glob string, or function). Files within the node whose names match this expression will not be copied to the destDir if they otherwise would have been.

Note, in the case when a file matches both an include and exclude pattern, the exclude pattern wins

Default: [].

If your project has the following file structure:

.
├── Brocfile.js
└── src/
    ├── css/
    │   ├── reset.css
    │   └── todos.css
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── check-mark.png
    │   └── logo.jpg
    └── javascript/
        ├── app.js
        └── todo.js

You can select files that match a glob expression and exclude them from copying:

var Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');

// finds all files in 'src' EXCEPT `todo.js` in any directory
// or sub-directory and adds them to a node.
var nobodyLikesTodosAnyway = new Funnel('src', {
  exclude: ['**/todo.js']
});

/*
  nobodyLikesTodosAnyway contains the following files:
  .
  ├── css
  │   └── reset.css
  ├── icons
  │   ├── check-mark.png
  │   └── logo.jpg
  └── javascript
      └── app.js
*/

module.exports = nobodyLikesTodosAnyway;

---

files {Array of Strings}

One or more relative file paths. Files within the node whose relative paths match will be copied (with the location inside their parent directories preserved) to the destDir.

Default: [].

If your project has the following file structure

.
├── Brocfile.js
└── src/
    ├── css/
    │   ├── reset.css
    │   └── todos.css
    ├── icons/
    │   ├── check-mark.png
    │   └── logo.jpg
    └── javascript/
        ├── app.js
        └── todo.js

You can select a specific list of files copy those subdirectories to a new location, preserving their location within parent directories:

var Funnel = require('broccoli-funnel');

// finds these specific files and moves them to the destDir
var someFiles = new Funnel('src', {
  files: ['css/reset.css', 'icons/check-mark.png']
});

/*
  someFiles contains the following files:
  .
  ├── css
  │   └── reset.css
  └── icons
      └── check-mark.png
*/

module.exports = someFiles;

---

getDestinationPath {Function}

This method will get called for each file, receiving the currently processing relativePath as its first argument. The value returned from getDestinationPath will be used as the destination for the new node. This is a very simple way to rename files or move them from one path to another (replacing the need for broccoli-file-mover for example).

The return value of this method is cached for each input file. This means that getDestinationPath will only be called once per relativePath.

In the following example, getDestinationPath is used to move main.js to ember-metal.js:

var node = new Funnel('packages/ember-metal/lib', {
  destDir: 'ember-metal',

  getDestinationPath: function(relativePath) {
    if (relativePath === 'lib/main.js') {
      return 'ember-metal.js';
    }

    return relativePath;
  }
});
